The City: Chicago
The proposed revisions to home sharing ordinances will:
- Require homeowners to retain the names of guests but only require disclosure with a warrant or subpoena
- 4% surcharge on each rental
- Revenue estimated is $2 million/year
- revenue will be earmarked for homeless
- Allows areas of the city that are zoned as single-family homes the ability to pass petitions to restrict the home rentals
